Dr. Joe Niamtu

Want the latest procedure you heard about on "The Dr. Oz Show?" Dr. Joe Niamtu says you should do yourself a favor and let him talk you out of it. The miracle cures and surgeries touted on television rarely pan out, he says: "I love technology, but you really have to be careful." Niamtu only performs facial surgery and sticks to time-tested approaches. It's important because bad results on your face are impossible to hide, he says. The practice has grown to draw clients from across the state, nation and now the world, he says: "If you do good work, you get a following." While Niamtu sticks with faces, doctors at the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery have your whole body covered and offer medical spa services. And Dr. Michael Godin operates a West End practice and has written a textbook on facial surgery techniques.
